"Good morning, Ms. Quinn."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Welykr2mo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3J5S8Toq3
I blinked rapidly as the curtains are so rudely drawn back again. Hot, blinding sun pours into my room once again.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN2HaFlSgm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutqUwuOGWp
"M-morning." I grumbled.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOJJ0aLmOj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlyDniwCTB
"Sorry about the rude awakening, Ms. Ramirez wanted to be sure you were up in time to eat and shower before she returns." 391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd41TSji8ZI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixLTUwiPLw
I stared at the nurse, confused. "Returns? She's coming back today?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg3hIZbG27
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPUWK6YLrs
"Yes, she has to work to finish up here for the hospital."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70TKmaapP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9gs0A2IdH
"She sure does." I mumbled lowly.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8uaESrqcT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdEDRV1T3z
The nurse chirped up, "She brought you some clean clothes. You can shower and ready for the day, if you want to place your order with the kitchen staff I'll bring your food in about 30 minutes."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IaleYc8hx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9hD2XFSwL
"Thank you, that'd be nice."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWwpCCWCZT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHNP416r9g
She gave me a small smile and jotted something down quickly before leaving me alone to find the strength to begin my day.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84443OBMh3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllcQrd7i29
The contract laid on the table next to me. Sticking out like a sore thumb with the weight it held.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9IooFKHaW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfBEdYFNH9
I had tried to read through the contract conditions last night but whatever pain medicine they had me on knocked me out fast.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUryrVfNjkf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOS8rugrq7
I pushed off the bed and let my feet adjust to the floor. Little tingles shot up through my body as my weight adjusted clumsily.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK84ovJ4NDo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nvcQDrUWy
After I figured out how to walk again like a damn baby deer, I made my way to the shower and turned it on full blast.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorOKZtbar0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjpw1tufVN
I still wasn't sure if this was actual reality or some weird sick nightmare.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8M8enLYaS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAodFwaaTQ
Josh being gone didn't feel possible. Why would he do something so idiotic?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZHuOiW9g6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ujdtZQb3O
"You're so stupid, Josh." I whispered angrily. "You should be here so I can tell you that."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNpTaCDsdU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Jg77rIqg
Eventually, the hot water turned cold and I drug my depressed self from the shower and tugged a towel tightly around me.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5YEAGXXdi
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs7eWnXXjg
I stepped slowly in front of the mirror and reached out to wipe away the condensation.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQU9zn7CpQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3v0EDc8lC
Brown, doe eyes...thick ginger hair...scatters of brown freckles...pale skin.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOZiZ7nO49
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgmKJjZhXL
"Whew..." I breathed and grasped the counter. "Kept my face together."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mKIcLm8PZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzSeQeqwGq
Growing up, everyone always commented on the similarities I shared with my mother. Same long, thick ginger hair and big brown doe eyes. Every feature was so identical and she was so beautiful.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdphBZETOT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4uxbLXgkJ
When I got tired I'd spend hours counting her freckles scattered all over her cheeks or arms before falling asleep. I used to count the beautiful hues of orange and red in her hair as the sun danced on her locks.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnz6Kj7zJe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iRwCWSoQ7
My fingers itched up towards the little heart locket resting on my neck.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE6pS8iqIJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99OVuIypPK
"I miss you so much..." I muttered as I fingered the clasp. "I promise...I'll do everything I can to make you all proud of me."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CPG4VqBZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFULHkJdViX
I brought the heart to my mouth and kissed it softly. The little picture of the four of us inside on Christmas day felt so cheesy at the time.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvSjfCzu6p
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlWla7FcN6
Who would've known it was our last time together.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2hni8OxSI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1H68DfeRe
I hurried through the motions of combing out the tangles in my hair and tossing on the black tee and shorts Angel brought for me. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEvrKShubD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPEJan3swe
I wasn't sure what I was feeling anymore. Numb? Shocked?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIndW4DG3M
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsu5qJQWWy
I walked out back towards the bed, grabbing the scary contract on my way.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9kUK3mzYK

I rolled my eyes and tossed the papers. "This guy has to be insane! They expect me to just sign away my life to some man I've never met."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yya6WC0nl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hmjpLwa0p
"Not at all."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRa2ArpqgE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGm2eXXlUT
I jumped as Angel's voice rang out through the room. She walked in and set her briefcase down on the chair. She was dressed in a tight blouse and jeans, still looking gorgeous as her blue eyes locked on me.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGfbioMcXc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD8RR2IFuA
"Sorry for frightening you," She smiled softly and set the tray she was carrying down. "Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and a huge glass of chocolate milk. You have good taste in breakfast foods."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMIiwPP2A
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJq8gU3LqO
"Thank you,"I replied and felt my mouth water at the sight. "This has always been a go-to meal for me."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fo8h8SUCn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8imCWd47D
"So..."Angel begun and moved to sit next to me. "Any thoughts?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFGzzjzZ3o
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFlfUNwZAK
I shrugged and shoved some egg into my mouth, "I don't know...all of it seems really weird and confusing. Plus, it doesn't seem to ever state what happens if I'm to break these terms or tell anyone of this contract."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESs2fu2cm9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOC53Enfuy
"Robbie..."Angel sighed and raked her fingers through the ends of her ponytail. "I want to be very transparent with you. Mr. Wolfe is not a normal man. He is very successful and owns a lot of people and a lot of businesses. If you even get to meet him, I'll be very surprised. He's not just incredibly wealthy though, he's also extremely dangerous."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nq67AxDnr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ucl2k3VhO
"Sure," I rolled my eyes. "Does he kill people or something?" I snort.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRu1Vu5fMr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUSqaSe1Kg
She doesn't laugh. This chick really has no sense of humor.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTyQ77WBho
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDHlplpdS
"Shut up." I teased. "No he doesn't."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9foP84cWFA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz1SkzGfvh
"Listen to me, Robbie. He has a lot of power and if you were to agree to his protection and care, you can not tell anyone about him. He will do anything he has to in order to protect his organization and his family."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzybzwhQEZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFAcMi1zbV
"H-he'd kill me? This is the man my brother was involved with?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnMXGwZnEM
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4zIGtLQkq
"Your brother wasn't just an acquaintance...he was sworn into this life with him." Angel responded.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCLTobbNlw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYuGFBcPID
"And if I don't agree to his terms...I can just go on about my life?" I asked her and sat my fork down. "I can just go on without the worry of someone shooting me in the head."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONARCbJ8K
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwY3a5QCTn
Angel rolled her eyes," He's not going to just have a gun to your head. He's a professional and a business man. He's not going to threaten you unless you give him a reason, plus you are going to have some pretty scary men with you if you choose to ever leave his estate."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdQCPEZ4JU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoDTBeASaW
"How do YOU even know all of this?" I asked her, narrowing my eyes. "Did they suck you in as well?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGYKxjgfEF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR69SWUmJs
She chuckled, "Not exactly, but we did agree upon a business agreement in the past three weeks while you were sleeping. I have a lot of skills and Mr. Wolfe thinks I would be a great business asset for him."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ad4d2POCC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4Phta8jv
"Well congratulations on the new job." 391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSgsStv6Fs
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV936QpiWb
Angel ignored me,"Let's get serious here, Robbie. This needs to be signed before 12pm."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ0Q40PMD6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFCJi0rTD3
"What happens after I sign it?" I challenged. "Where do I go?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RhMXqi6l6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprpdMq7hR1
"Mr. Wolfe lives in Los Angeles, California. You'd be picked up this evening by Mr. Williams who works for the family directly and brought to the estate."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiadUcyfYy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0KTm6y4n4
My mouth fell open, "I have to fucking move?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnXAxSgTZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImPNOEwDIh
"Do you really think your landlord is going to let you stay where you are now? What about your friends?" Sheglared at me.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGV2MD4td1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn98uakZ5e
I've known this chick less than 24 hours and she's already ripping me a new one.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6tgnI3peZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKuhKPVErr
"I..I'm sure I can find someone." I lied and looked away. "It's weird to just leave my whole life here, especially when I'm set to graduate and I've never even been outside of Oregon."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzN308g737
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb5OXx6R8T
"What a better time to start. A whole new beginning...new friends, new school, new start."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcM5jKSnM8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5szMciG1vs
"I have less than a month of school left, wouldn't that be pointless?" I groaned and pushed the tray from me. "Can't I just do online or something?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW1YXNbcY5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7abgqnhpL
"Per the contract he would prefer you attend a private school nearby so you can have the graduation experience he wants you to have."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cm9bKz3ts
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWccQr0PBfx
"How old is this guy? Fucking sixty or something?" I snorted. 391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLnP23wyeR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlEnt2Sv8
What if it's a set up? Maybe this is Jagger's plan to finish the job.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNNS5ezf03
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OtNNTY83R
"He's twenty five, Robbie." Angel shook her head and reached for the contract. "What other questions do you have about this?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Al8yMRHtA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTmIdqezfz
"Here's what I know...Wolfe is dangerous, can't tell anyone or I'll die, I have til 12pm to decide, and I have to uproot everything from here." I listed off for her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ631JsIa0b0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExMX3o4xBK
Angel stared back, her blue eyes softening. "Let's be realistic here, what's holding you back from this?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTFy4xXQ11
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qjBwfYWMU
"I don't know him," I shrug and push further back into the hospital bed. "If I don't go, I'm left to try to survive alone. If I do go, I'm basically giving my entire life up to some man."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmj8YKvdJQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AP1IXjUFW
"He's professional about this, Robbie. Like I said, the chance of you seeing him around often is slim."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61WC7bxh1j
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoCTExGysA
"I suppose I don't have many options," I sighed and glance at the papers in her hands. "Will I still be in touch with you?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmkVlN0rsp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvd5qn5swX
She nodded, smiling brightly. "I'll be keeping tabs frequently." 391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk56QkEewz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YPo7iMBzn
"Alright...alright. Give me a damn pen."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFWwgwrfXh
